JERUSALEM, 23 November 2021, (TON): Israeli officials, police and medics said “a member of the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement opened fire in Jerusalem’s Old City, killing one person and wounding three before he was shot dead.”
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett ordered security to be boosted and called for people to be on “heightened alert” over the risk of further attacks.
The four wounded, two police officers and two civilians, were rushed to Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital, where one of the civilian victims died.
Bennett said in a statement “this morning there was a serious shooting attack in the Old City of Jerusalem.”
“At the moment we have one dead and three wounded.
“Two policewomen and one policeman quickly neutralised the terrorist.”
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation identified the victim as Eliyahu Kay, an immigrant from South Africa, who was employed by them as a guide at the Western Wall plaza.
